Starkiller Base feeds off a system's sun and uses that energy to fire its massive superweapon to destroy entire systems. Now, what Imperial project sounds very similar to that? Starkiller Base. But, if you don't know what a Dyson Sphere is, here's a quick breakdown:Ī Dyson Sphere is a theoretical megastructure that could be built around a star (like the sun) and would be used to absorb its energy to produce power and possibly generate infinite, renewable energy tbst could last forever.īut, a Dyson Sphere is entirely theoretical as humans currently do not have the technology or capacity to build such a massive (we're talking larger than the sun) structure without destroying the economy or endangering human lives and whatnot. One of the Imperial projects listed by Jyn as she searches for the Death Star plans is "Project: Stellarsphere."īy googling "project stellarsphere" to see if it generated any real world references, the first result was for a Dyson Sphere. In Rogue One, Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor are searching through the Imperial data files on Scarif.

It was recently confirmed by Jedi: Fallen Order that the Empire at least began construction on Starkiller Base by "coring" out the sacred Jedi planet Ilum ~5 years after the rise of Imperial rule.
